CLOY and the Art of Moving On

 

I am new here in a way… but really, I’ve lurked this page time and time again. I’ve found myself nodding in front of my computer screen in agreement, squinted my eye from time to time due to skepticism, sported the scariest glaring eyes because of infuriation... but mostly y’all posts made and still make me swoon and LOL like there’s no tomorrow 90% of the time. Thank you. It’s comforting knowing that there’s a tiny nook on the internet where I can validate my inner thoughts and sentiments about this drama. 사랑의 불시착 CRASH LANDED ON ME, BIG TIME!!!

 

Then there’s my reality-- besides attending to the important aspects of daily living, I’ve pretty much spent my long weekend marathoning all 16 episodes. Even the lightest scenes made me bawl like a baby, I nitpick at the faintest details in every episode, the parts that I initially found mundane and unnecessary became treasures. I laughed a little harder and forced myself to hit that <pause> button because I need time to process. I knew that as each scene progressed, the end was getting near and nearer. Oh how dramatic am I? 

 

I am now at that point of realization that I need to come out here and ramble my feeeeeelssss out so please bear with me. In a way I am grateful to have such a trivial dilemma but WHY AM I HAVING THE HARDEST TIME MOVING ON FROM THIS DRAMA? Only four things dawned on me so far:

 

• Following this series in real-time brought me a new routine that I abided to for over 2 months. There’s no more streaming at 4AM Saturday mornings (PST, hey SoCal chingus!) then waiting for Netflix to upload the subbed episode at 6AM. It’s the knowledge that I knew that Ep 16 will come (AND OH IT ARRIVED...EVEN DESCENDED ALRIGHT xD) and now I don’t know what else to do?

 

• I am just inlove and too invested with this drama. Continuation flaws, plot holes and all, it really is a masterpiece. I gag-laughed at the synopsis then Ri Jeong Hyukshiii and his bowl-cut happened...hook, line, and sinker! All kidding aside, the way this show explored that eternal and selfless kind of love made my capitalist heart flutter like crazy. Kudos to all the actors, main and supporting ones! The chemistry of RiRi was crazy off the charts (and SYJ can ACT alright, like wow I see you Queen of Melo) !!!!! Our GSJxSD  couple, our precious F4+1, our NK ahjummas, etc.❤ Although one might find it romanticized, I really loved how the show delved into NK & SK realities that the rest of the world already had preconceived notions of. It’s heart-breaking, so close yet so far. Those YT videos of NK defectors reviewing CLOY were insightful to say the least. The lighter approach the writer and production team took was equally refreshing and optimistic, ONEKOREA oh one day… someday! (Yes, Pyo Chi Su, you are invited with a life-time supply of Seri’s Choice shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! HAHA)

 

• The rise of alternate endings, rumors or not. It kept my imagination running wild post-ep 16. All the shoulda woulda couldas. I am pleased and satisfied with how our main couple ultimately found peace with their little Romeo and Juliet story in Switzerland. It all came back to square one, oh fate! HOWEVER, the hearsays about a possible wedding in Seoul and Tomato twins tugged at my faint heart as well. Although politically frowned upon, it’s one of those ‘hmmm imagine if it ended that way’ moments that again highlights the tough and delicate NK-SK relations that the drama carefully trod on. The last thing the whole CLOY team wants is a backlash after finishing on such a strong note…. But but but but WHAT IF RIGHT? Hahaa (I must move on)

 

• Maybe what I’m experiencing can be simply explained by one of my TOP 10 CLOY scenes:

SAUDADE -- a Portuguese and Galician word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which has been lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never really return. It was once described as "the love that remains" or "the love that stays" after someone is gone.

The show and all the precious episodes will forever be there and I can easily go back and relive them. What I’m having a hard time dealing with is the fleeting emotions of sadness and happiness all mixed together due to the end of a journey. Saudade, CLOY, saudade indeed.

 

As I’m typing this post and trying to organize my thoughts, I am getting the sense of peace that this separation anxiety I am experiencing with CLOY isn’t and won’t be going in vain. It’s normal & I just have to embrace the whole process. This really was an unforgettable drama for me and I am grateful for the rollercoaster of emotions it brought me. Oh so worth it! And now onto moving on… wish me luck, comrades!

I knew there was a reason my spidey senses peaked when I was watching the final epilogue for CLOY.

 

Ms. Son Yejin-shiii is very much a budding florist  (pun intended ) as seen on her Master in the House guesting.

 

SYJ: Yes. I love flowers. 

 

Real meets reel. AND THIS TIME WITH RJH / HB offering her some and they immerse all of us in their pink bubble *faints* ACKKKKK I cannot with the feels right now. HALP.

P.S. I’m new here. I mean I’ve lurked from time to time but I think I’m now ready to actively wait with you guys for the holy announcement. Patiently, of course  xo
